The German power trio Jeronimo from Frankfurt am Main recorded what has since become one of the most sought-after German albums among collectors: their second self-titled LP featuring the iconic Indian cover, designed by Helmut Wenske. The line-up consisted of guitarist and singer Michael Koch, bassist and singer Gunnar Schäfer and drummer and singer Ringo Funk. After a few funny but also successful chart singles (still with their previous guitarist, Rainer Marz), they had now developed a heavy, guitar-driven boogie-blues and hard rock sound. In 1970, they toured Germany successfully with Steppenwolf and played at major festivals.

Recording sessions for their second album took place a year later at the legendary Tonstudio Dierks, with Dieter Dierks as sound engineer. It was released in autumn 1971 on the Frankfurt-based Bellaphon label, produced by Gerhard Rieger. It is by far their best LP, showcasing enormous vitality and hard rock skills in straightforward songs. Qualities that also largely characterise their third and final album Time Ride. With the exception of a five-minute drum solo and a brief acoustic instrumental passage, this album features nine short, high-energy songs with English vocals and catchy, fiery guitar playing, driven by a powerful rhythm section. For reasons unknown, only a small number of copies of this highly sought-after self-titled album were ever pressed.
